Torque/Force Comparison

The following table summarizes the technical characteristics of Mark-10 force gauges in an easy-to-read comparison format. For a comparison of test stands, click here. Note: The BGI torque/force gauge shares its features and specifications with the BG (except for load cell-related information, weight, and included accessories). The MGT torque gauge also shares most of its characteristics with the MG force gauge, with the same exceptions. Force and Torque Gauges Comparison Chart (printable .pdf version)
